The Telangana government has announced plans to increase medical seats in the state by 10,000. This comes as part of an effort to expand medical education and improve healthcare facilities. However, many doctors and experts have questioned the lack of financial and infrastructural support from the central government. They believe that setting up more medical colleges alone will not solve healthcare challenges.  

Medical professionals argue that while increasing seats is a positive step, the state needs better hospitals, faculty, and training facilities. Some doctors have pointed out that the National Medical Commission (NMC) has strict guidelines that could make it difficult to establish new colleges. The availability of quality education and clinical training is also a major concern.  

Experts say that Telangana already has a high number of medical seats compared to its population. According to NMC guidelines, the state might not need so many new seats. Instead, they suggest improving the quality of education and healthcare services in existing institutions. The focus should be on upgrading hospitals, hiring more teachers, and providing modern medical equipment.  

Despite these concerns, the Telangana government remains committed to strengthening healthcare facilities. Officials say that efforts are being made to ensure that new colleges meet all required standards. They also emphasize that increasing the number of doctors will ultimately benefit people in rural areas who have limited access to medical care.
